A new mechanism for the resonant absorption of a shear Alfvén wave is proposed that involves a direct mode conversion of the latter to an ion-acoustic wave without bringing in the intermediary — the kinetic Alfvén wave. The fraction of the incident Alfvén-wave energy that is mode-converted to an ion-acoustic wave is calculated. This mechanism likely operates in the solar wind, where it might lead to heating of the plasma.
